This page summarizes commonly-used commands for our Calxeda / Boston Limited Viridis server.

Controlling System

The computer controlling the Viridis system is Iraq.

AC Power Control

AC to the Viridis chassis is controlled by the Raspberry Pi plugged into the network.

  1. Log into the Raspberry Pi from Iraq: ssh raspi
  2. Issue the appropriate "power" command:
    • Get the AC power status: power status
    • Turn the AC power on: power on
    • Turn the AC power off: power off
    • Power-cycle the AC: power reset
Stop (medium size).png
Possible Filesystem Damage!
As with any system, it's important to shut down each node before powering the chassis off.

IP Addresses of Nodes

The Viridis nodes each have three IP addresses, configured via DHCP from Iraq. The first two interfaces are used by the application processor (Linux) on each node, and the third interface is used by the Energy Core Management Engine (ECME). These are recorded in the /etc/hosts file on Iraq as:

  • senecaX - first interface (Linux)
  • senecaXa - second interface (Linux)
  • senecaXb - third interface (ECME)

X currently ranges from 0 to 11.
